Ottoman Diyarbakir trade statistics Summary In recent years, the persecution of the Kurds in the Middle East under ISIS in Iraq and Syria has drawn increasing attention from the international media. In this book, Veli Yadirgi analyses the socioeconomic and political structures and transformations of the Kurdish people from the Ottoman era through to the modern Turkish Republic, arguing that there is a symbiotic relationship between the Kurdish question and the de-development of the predominantly Kurdish domains, making an ideal read for historians of the region and those studying the socio-political and economic evolution of the Kurds. First outlining theoretical perspectives on Kurdish identity, socioeconomic development and the Kurdish question, Yadirgi then explores the social, economic and political origins of Ottoman Kurdistan following its annexation by the Ottomans in 1514. Finally, he deals with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and the subsequent foundation and evolution of the Kurdish question in the new Turkish Republic Notes Off-campus access available to SOAS staff and students only, using SOAS ID and password Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 11 Aug 2017) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Kurds -- Turkey -- Economic conditions Kurds -- Turkey -- Politics and government Kurds -- Turkey -- Social conditions Economic history Kurds -- Economic conditions Kurds -- Politics and government Kurds -- Social conditions Politics and government Social conditions SUBJECT Kurdistan -- Economic conditions Kurdistan -- Politics and government Kurdistan -- Social conditions Subject Middle East -- Kurdistan Turkey Form Electronic book ISBN 9781316848579 1316848574 1107181232 9781107181236 1316632490 9781316632499 1316859312 9781316859315
